Grey
morning after rain through the night. Only a small camp spot here and quite
noisy near the main road. Went over to say hi to the other van who had Qld
plates and it was a couple we met at Waanyarra. They headed off just after we
got there to get repairs done on their new van in Melbourne. They were heading
to Whipstick to detect.
We
headed into Bendigo to buy a new TV. Harvey Norman had a 22inch on sale for
$395 and then he dropped the price to $347. The box price says $415.
Got
the door locks exchanged at Autobarn since the ones we bought on Mornington
Peninsula wouldn’t work – they replaced them, no problems.
Got
our groceries and a hot chook and buns for lunch. We also grabbed some $1 chips
from KFC – their advert on TV has worked well. Their spices are so yum but they
were not hot and crunchy!!
Topped
up the fuel, genie and heater fuel and exchanged our gas bottle.
Dumped
the toilet at the Showgrounds then headed back to the van.
Loved
this old building on the main road. Langley Hall built in 1904. Reminds me of
Millaa house – looking forward to driving up and seeing how Ian is progressing
with its restoration when we get home.
Took
a photo of camp as it was too late and wet when we arrived yesterday afternoon.
Packed
all the groceries away and bagged all the meat – just love my vacuum sealer.
Steve put in the new TV and it works well and is bigger but still fits in ok.
He just has to raise the bracket a bit so we can get our support cushion
underneath (for when we are driving).
Kate
and Tony rang from Whroo – they haven’t found any gold yet. They might head
back to Maryborough. We decided to head to Heathcote as I wanted to check out
some things there. We can camp in the National Park and it is sort of on the
way to Whroo. Got there by 5.30 and parked in between the trees – Steve making
sure no branches were going to fall on us.
Enjoyed
watching our new TV. Janet texted that the family is gathering for Roz’s
birthday on the 2nd of August if we were nearby.
